The Pageant of Roses Garden at Rose Hills Memorial Park

摘要

The beauty and versatility of roses as landscape plants is what makes the Pageant of Roses Garden at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier, California, well worth visiting. Gardeners who use roses as single specimens or ragtag collections of individual named cultivars will see a different approach here. At Rose Hills, multiples of a single cultivar are planted en masse in each bed, resulting in expansive sweeps of rich color. For more than forty years, this garden-in-a-cemetery has been regarded as one of the major public rose gardens in Southern California.
